EB-3 Dismissed — Software Engineering: the beneficiary did not meet the educational requirements
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary did not meet the educational requirements specified in the labor certification as of the priority date. The petitioner required a U.S. bachelor's degree or a 'foreign equivalent,' which the AAO interpreted as a single foreign degree, not a combination of lesser degrees and experience which the beneficiary presented.
